It’s been a long road up to this point, the final review of my project. I was able to manage my time so that I accomplished everything I set out to do for my final boards– a fact that was not missed by my reviewers. My graphics received high praise from reviewers and passers-by alike, […] […] I finished putting my boards together, wanted to share. Off to the printer! […] I used this opportunity both to explore my ECS systems in-depth and to test graphics for my final presentation. In winter, at the peak of the school’s occupancy, heat loss through the envelope does not far exceed internal heat loads (occupants, lights, and equipment). Though Portland’s perpetually overcast winters make solar heating a challenge, the small […] […] In developing the landscape concept of my design, I have again come to the question of how the building and landscape interact. Conceptually, the building and the greater landscape exist on a sort of continuum along the experiential trails that run through the site. The building represents the more structured, formal kind of learning environment, while […] […] As I began to explore the entry of my building, I began to have some doubts about the dome that covers the commons for the Savanna small learning community (SLC). I explained before my desire to diffuse the purity of the dome by creating a nested split-dome structure (which I also think is cool in […] […] To say the end of the term was extremely difficult for me would be a bit of an understatement. After presenting what I thought would be my final design, I got the more of the same critiques that I’ve been getting all term: I need to connect with the rest of the site; I need […] […] I wanted to carry on my metaphor about marriage and divorce, but things were starting to sound a little, um, messy, if you will. So let me just lay it out straight. My first scheme was purely a response to my thesis question (that is, a meaningful examination of the relationship between built form and landscape). […] […] In the time since leaving my previous scheme, I have been working on a design that responds better to the function and program of the project (a school), while still staying true to my thesis question (challenging the relationship between indoors and out). The “three-fingered” plan is based on the idea that a school of 400 […] […] After Wednesday’s pin-up, and in the wake of my recent divorce, I’ve found it necessary to refocus my design efforts before I move on. So: I am designing a school for environment as integrated context for learning (EIC). With the building form and site design, I aim to reexamine the relationship between in- and outdoors. More simply, […] […] |
